CONGRATS! VIRGINIA of Wyoming!!! Enjoy you RECARO!

As a parent you want your child to be protected and the money spent on a carseat is one of the biggest investments a family with make. The #1 thing you want to look for when buying a new car seat is SAFETY RATING! You cannot buy a car seat on looks alone or the cute factor. You need to test out the car seat and read about it all over the net. Check reviews and ratings so that you can see what buyers are saying about it.

When we received the RECARO PROseries for review, I could not believe how sturdy this seat it. I can tell you it is very heavy..so you won’t want to whip it in and out of one car to another often. This car seat is exactly what I want Paityn to sit in since it has the side impact protection. I will show you our seat that we are switching out to install the Recaro…WOW! Our other seat is lame compared the the Recaro seat. Not only does it have a better rating but it is way more plush and comfy for Paityn to sit in. These seats are well constructed and made to protect your kids in case you are in an accident.

1 in 4 accidents resulting in the injury or death of a child are caused by side impact collisions.

Is your child protected?

Each RECARO child restraint system is designed and engineered to provide optimum safety and protection in the event of a life threatening accident. The RECARO Side Impact Protection system with its extra large side wings, correctly shaped headrest and comfortable padding provides an additional peace-of-mind when your child may need it most.

I can’t tell you how long my kiddos have been asking for a 3DS Nintendo game….like forever!
So my kids were UBER excited about reviewing the Nitendo 3DS and game Nintendogs + Cats!
This was right up our alley and now my kiddos can sit back and play the game instead of begging me to play!

My little obsessed man and his gaming skills!

Here is an adorable screen shot from the game!

The first week of playing the unit and the game we were very pleased with what we saw the first week alone! Nevaeh and Korbyn keep fighting over who’s turn it is and who gets to see their pet first.

Nintendogs + Cats comes in three different versions: Golden Retriever, Toy Poodle and French Bulldog. Each version of the game differs in the nine breeds of dog that are immediately available to own, but all twenty-seven breeds of dog are eventually unlocked and are the same regardless of which version you have.

For owners of the original Nintendogs title, there will be a lot of familiar elements to the new game, but there are also quite a few surprises too. I just love the graphics and the in your face action of the screen.

As with the first game, players start at the kennels, where they can choose their puppy from one of the nine starter breeds. Here is where the first differences between this game and the original become very noticeable. If you remember in the first game all of the breeds looked exactly alike, but in this game, there are fur color options…this means you can make your per look unique in color and in texture! How cool is that??? This extra brings the game to life for my kiddos..they treat their pet as if they are real.

This game offers augmented reality and offers a built in pedometer to keep track of every step you take! You can write in the journal feature to keep track of all of you important details of the day!!

Augmented Reality – that means when a real-life shot has been enhanced by computer animation.

In this game you can discover different ways of making money so that you can purchase a pet of your choice! You have the choice to sell unwanted pet supplies and accessories to a second hand shop. It totally reminds me of the Once Upon a Child store we have here where we can sell unwanted children’s clothes. Same concept!!


The second way of earning money in the game is to enter your puppy into some daily competitions. There are three competitions:

• Disc Competition – players may remember this competition from the original Nintendogs game.
• Lure Coursing – players encourage their puppy to chase a Lure along a racetrack until the finish line. This replaces the Agility Course competition from the original game.
• Obedience Competition - also an original Nintendogs competition, which now uses the 3DS Augmented reality card.

There are also two ways to walk your dog in Nintendogs + Cats. Firstly, players can simply choose to take their dog for a walk in the traditional way. There are a few changes to this mode however. In this game, players no longer select the route for their puppy before they go on the walk. Instead, a location is chosen by selecting a signpost in the street which leads to one of the three new locations – the Mountain Trail, Seaside or Town. Each of these locations has its own visitor hotspots, which players can choose to take their pet to.

For example, the Town includes the Café, where they can meet their first cat, and the Gym, where dogs can practise for the Lure Coursing competition, whereas the Seaside has a Beach to practise for the Disc Competition, and the Mountain Trail has a green Park for playing fetch with a wooden stick or a ball.

Another way to walk the dog is by using the in-built Pedometer function. This means that you can put the console into Sleep Mode by shutting down the lid and walking around with the console – ideal if you are out and about for a day. When you re-open the console you will be rewarded with a present from your dog. ( presents are treats for your puppy)

Nintendogs + Cats will capture you or your child’s attention and wow them after each and every play! Korbyn and Nevaeh adore this game and they highly recommend it. The 3D graphics are amazing and it is so interesting to think what could happen in the future of Nintendo..many more amazing things I am sure.
